Patented Nov. 5, 1918.

Application filed January 10, 1918. Serial No. 211,248.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY C. BEAcH,-Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Huntington, in the county of Cabell and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Gas-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a burner, and one object of the invention is to provide novel means whereby the amount of fuel delivered may be regulated with extreme accuracy.

Another object of the invention is so to construct the casing which admits the fuel, that the valves controlling the supply of fuel cannot be tampered with readily.

A further object of the invention is to provide novel means for mounting the casing and the nozzle in such a way that these parts may be adjusted, and so that either of them may be adjusted, to regulate the supply of air, and for other purposes.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, theinvention resides in the combination and arrangements of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in top plan, a device constructed in accordance with the present invention;

Fig. 2 shows the structure in longitudinalsection, the same being mounted in a furnace wall;

Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 33 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a rear end elevation.

The numeral 1 denotes a carrier, preferably in the form of a tube, adapted to be mounted in a wall 2 and provided with a flange 3 engaging the outer face of the wall. The numeral 4 designates, generally, a nozzle including a cylindrical body 5 slidably received in the carrier or tube 1, and a tapered discharge end 6. Supports, preferably inthe form of arms 7, project rearwardly from the flange 3 of the carrierl.

At 8 there appears a box-like casing having a transverse partition 9 of considerable thickness, the partition defining a forward compartment 10 and a rear compartment 11 in the casing 8. The casing 8 has a fuel inlet 12, communicating with the forward compartment 10. A front closure plate 14 cooperates with the forward. end of the casing 8 and a rear closure plate 15 cooperates with the rear end of the casing. Gaskets 16 are interposed between the plates 14 and 15.

and the respective ends of the casing 8. The plates 14 and 15 are held in place by securing elements 17 engaging the casing. The forward closure plate 14 is supplied with a plurality of small outlet openings 18 communicating with the forward compartment 10. There may be any desired number of these openings 18, the'openings preferably being grouped together. Needle valves, in the form of screws 19 are threaded into the partition 9. The forward ends of the needle.

valves or screws 19 are adapted to be advanced into the outlet openings 18 of the front closure plate 14, the rear ends 20 of the needle valves being located in the rear compartment 11. In the sides of the casing 8 and in the lateral edges of the plates 14 and 15, seats or notches 21 are formed. The arms 7 which project rearwardly from the carrier 1 are slidably received in the seats 21. The casing 8 issupplied at its sides with outwardly extended lugs 22 into which set screws 23 are threaded, the set screws being adapted to bear on the upper edges of the arms 7 The set screws 23 form a clamping means.

In practical operation, fuel is supplied through the inlet 12 and enters the forward compartment 10. One or more of the needle valves 19 may be advanced, to close, wholly or in part, the openings 18 in the front closure plate 14. In this way, the amount of fuel passing out of the casing 8 through the openings 18 may be regulated. The fuel emitted through the openings 18 mingles with the air at the rear of the nozzle 4 and passes through the nozzle, with the air, in the form of a mixture, the mixture burning at the forward end of the nozzle 4.

'Attention is directed to the fact that the rear ends 20 of the needle valves 19 are rear closure plate 15. In view of the foregoing construction, the needle valves 19 cannot be tampered with readily, but by removing the rear closure plate 15, any of the needle valves may be adjusted as occasion requires.

The nozzle l prevents an objectionable noise, in the operation of the burner, and it is possible to shift the nozzle endwise, thereby to regulate the air space between the nozzle and the casing 8, and for the purpose of positioning the discharge end of the nozzle l properly, so that the flame may be located as required. It is possible, also, to move the casing 8 forwardly and rearwardly on the arms 7, thereby to regulate the air Space existing between the casing and the rear end of the nozzle, the casing being held in adjusted position by tightening up the set screws "23 in the lugs so that the set screws bear on the upper edges of the arms 7.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. In a device of the class described, a casing having an integral intermediate partition defining front and rear compartments and provided with an inlet communicating with the front compartment; a plate for the front compartment and having an opening; means for securing the plate to the casing; a needle valve adjustable longitudinally in the partition and cooperating with the opening, the rear end of the valve being housed with in the contour of the casing in the rear compartment; a removable closure plate for the rear compartment, the said closure plate shielding the rear end of the valve; means for securing the last specified plate to the casing; a mixing means in front of the easing; and mechanism for holding the casing in spaced relation to the mixing means.

In a device of the class described, a casing having a partition defining front and rear compartments and provided with an inlet connnunicating With the front compartment; a closure for the front compartment carried by the casing and having a plurality of openings; needle valves individually adjustable longitudinally in the partition and cooperating with the respective openings, the rear ends of the valves being housed in the rear compartment; a removable closure for the rear compartment and carried by the casing, the said closure shielding the rear ends of the valves; a mixing means in front of the casing; and mechanism for holding the casing in spaced relation to the mixing means.

3. In a device of the class described, a fuel-supplying casing having open notches in its sides and provided with outstanding lugs disposed adjacent to the notches; clamping means carried by the lugs; and a carrier having rearwardly extended arms slidably received in the notches and engaged by the clamping means.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto attixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
